Trying Every PINEAPPLE BUN in SAN FRANCISCO'S CHINATOWN

I grew up sinking my teeth into soft bolo baos or pineapple buns! These iconic Chinese pastries feature a soft, pillowy bun and crunchy, sugary crust that I'm absolutely obsessed with. If you've ever wondered which pineapple bun is the BEST in San Francisco's Chinatown, I've got you covered with this pineapple bun food tour. Check out the 6 locations I visited below!

Great organization and labeling of the buns, super for visual!

[@eatsbyrachel]

Thank you!! Glad you appreciate it :))

[@M7ofATC]

Thanks for your help on figuring out where I’ll get my egg tarts and pork buns (Garden Bakery)! I’ll also have to try some pineapple buns and moon cake! I’m not sure if I’ll be able to fit much of Chinatown into my day in SF. But I did figure out that I can go to one of these bakeries at 6am then walk through a few blocks before hopping on the cable car and starting our day! I have my 9 yo daughter and I’s day planned out, I hope I can fit it all in!

[@eatsbyrachel]

What a great plan and way to treat your daughter! Definitely let me know what you think :)

[@demzre]

Agreed. Fancy Wheat Field is one of the best I've eaten. Surprising, especially since it's a chain. If you're ever in the Sunset, Pineapple King is a must, but there's a hidden gem further south in the Outer Sunset called Sweet Passion Bakery.

[@eatsbyrachel]

YES Pineapple King is on my list!

[@MulansHouse]

Also - I would love a search for good bagels in the bay if you’re into bagels

[@eatsbyrachel]

I LOOVE bagels! Adding to my to do list!

[@OttawaLife21]

Your channel is so underrated

[@eatsbyrachel]

Thank you for the support!

[@ramencurry6672]

10 years ago, a lot of these types of channels would have exploded. KZbin is now so saturated that it’s harder for channels to gain traction
